Institution status in Link

Details of institution health status accessible in Link

Institution status in Link

Link proactively lets users know if an institution's connection isn't performing well. Below are the three views a user will see depending on the status of the institution they select.

When the status of item_logins of an institution is DEGRADED, Link will warn users that they may experience issues and allow them to continue. Once the status of item_logins becomes DOWN, Link will block users from attempting to log in and suggest they find another bank.

link_status_health

Institution Health warnings can be tested in the Sandbox environment by using one of the dedicated "Unhealthy" Platypus Bank test institutions.

For a more detailed view of institution status, see the status dashboard, which provides a browsable view of institutions, supported products, and institution health.
